2. The Office Trivia
The Office was a cultural phenomenon that took a light-hearted look into the everyday lives of Pam, Jim and Michael Scott at an office park in Scranton, Pennsylvania. With so many memorable characters, hilarious moments, and quotable lines, you and your friends will have a great time testing your knowledge of the show. You can create trivia themes and categories based on different episodes, seasons, or characters, and even ask questions about the show’s cultural impact. Everyone is sure to have a great time and enjoy the nostalgia of re-living some of The Office’s best moments. An Office-themed trivia night will always leave your guests satisfied and smiling (That’s what she said!).
3. Employer-Themed Trivia
We host team building trivia events for tons of businesses, and these events are a great way to help people learn about the company and connect with coworkers over a shared experience. Whether you work for a large, established company or a smaller startup, you can tailor the questions to match the unique culture of your workplace. Questions can range from the company's history and accomplishments to the more obscure details that only the most dedicated employees would know. Whether it’s used as part of new-hire orientation or the office holiday party, an employer-themed trivia event can be informative and moral-boosting allowing everyone to connect on a common topic.
4. Star Wars Trivia
We all know who Luke’s father is, but do you know which two items were used to create the sound you hear every time a lightsaber is unholstered? Put your knowledge of the force to the test with a Star Wars themed trivia night. With the expansive universe and 40+ years of history, there’s no shortage of Star Wars trivia topics to choose from. Test your coworkers’ knowledge of characters, planets, starships, and memorable quotes from the movies. You’ll be sure to have a great time as you explore the galaxy far, far away!
5. Harry Potter Trivia
The Harry Potter book series took the world by storm, and now that the story has also been told across eight movies, there’s plenty to draw from if you’re considering hosting a Harry Potter themed trivia night. Test your coworkers' knowledge of the beloved book series and films, with questions spanning all seven books and eight movies. Encourage your colleagues to come dressed in their favorite character's robes, or bring along their wands. You could even make it a competition by offering prizes for the top three finishers. Harry Potter trivia night is sure to be a hit, and will provide an enjoyable and unique way to bond with your coworkers.
6. Baby Shower Trivia
A lot of baby showers are pretty similar, so make yours stand out by hosting a unique trivia event. We offer baby shower themed trivia packages that celebrate the mom and child to-be. Baby shower trivia is a fun way to get to know family and friends better and learn more about baby-related topics. Instead of having guests guess the height, weight and due date, see who's the best in real-time with a baby shower themed trivia session from Bar None Games. Create teams or make it an individual competition and add prizes for the winners! It's a great way to bring everyone together and celebrate the new arrival.
7. Sports Trivia
A lot of people think they know sports, but you can test whose knowledge is more than just surface level by hosting a sports themed trivia night. You can make it hyper specific by focusing on your local team, or you can have it based on one specific sport or any type of sporting event. You can create your own sports-related trivia questions, or use an online source to find fun questions about different sports teams, players, and history. This is a great way to get everyone talking, laughing, and bonding. You can also make the event more interactive by awarding prizes for the winners and offering snacks and drinks. People who are into sports are often pretty competitive, which can make for quite the trivia experience.
8. Food Trivia
Trivia themes around food are always a hit! Everyone eats, so everyone is at least somewhat familiar with food. With a food theme, you can ask questions about the history of food, popular dishes from around the world, and even food-related facts. You can also give out prizes for the winning team, such as a gift card to a local restaurant or a homemade treat. For extra flare, use our food and drink packages to pair your trivia night with appetizers or a four-course meal and see who knows the most about the foods they are eating!
9. Birthday Trivia
Birthday themed trivia is another one of our offerings at Bar None Games. Questions can range from the basics, like asking what year a coworker was born, to more challenging questions like what was the biggest news event of the year they were born. From general questions about famous birthdays to questions about the birthday person, we can cultivate a one-of-a-kind trivia event for your birthday party.
10. Decades Trivia
Finally, trivia centered around a certain decade is always popular, especially if the players are around the same age. See who remembers the most from the 70s, or figure out who is the best 90s kid in the bunch. Or span across decades throughout the trivia session to see who knows the most about some of the biggest events of each decade. Either way, it's sure to be a fun and nostalgic night. Decades trivia covers a wide range of topics, from music and movies to fashion and technology, so there's something for everyone to enjoy. It's also a great way to learn a bit more about your coworkers and their areas of expertise.
